New (and improved?) N64 controller by Hori

One thing that always discouraged me from playing the ol' 64 was the crappy analog stick. My old controllers really took a beating (thanks a lot Mario Party). Recently though, Hori has come out with a new N64 controller that I would like to get. Here is the pic:

You may notice the D pad is in the center, but what do you really use the D pad anyway? If you were going to play a game like mischief makers, you could just use one of the old controllers. The new style analog stick looks great and would be the maion reason why I would get it. The only drawback is the placement of the Z button. I cant tell if those two shoulder buttons on the right are R and L and Z is on the left side, or if R and Z are on the right side and L is in the usual spot. In any case, it wouldnt be that hard to get used to. Heres the major problem. Hori doesnt ship to the US and lik-sang/play-asia dont carry it. I really want one of these controllers though. Any suggestions (besides actually going to Japan/sending a friend there)?

A friend sending you one... Some of the members are in Japan, they might pick one up and ship it to you if you ask real nice...

ooo.... I wonder how small the boards inside them are

smaller than most boards out there, I bet

........although if you look at Ben's N64p story, you'll see that you can cut up the official N64 controller quite a bit and have it still work

Someone at GameFAQs suggested maybe requesting a small shipment at lik-sang, do you think that is possible?

wait, I think I found a place that carries it

that does look like a awsome controllor.
bad thing i already cut a n64 controller and hopefully got the traces connected good enough to werk

also since my case is prety decent size (tackle box walmart ) ill include the d pad. On that cool controller id say the R and Z are on the right. i think that analog would hold out longer cause it looks like its the same from a gamecube.

ITS BOTH a big stick and a Small controller

it cant handle the stick

the stick isn't that big...in fact, I'll bet it's the same size as a GC analog stick

Nice, but the best thing for a great N64 controller would be a Gamecube Controller Adaptor
